New Delhi, April 12, 2025 – At the Global Tech Summit held in New Delhi, strategic affairs expert Ashley J. Tellis stated that India has taken into account former U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns over tariffs and has been working to address them. He emphasized that New Delhi understands the rationale behind Trump’s protectionist policies and is engaging constructively to find common ground, particularly in the trade and technology sectors.
Tellis also noted that India is making efforts to reduce friction with the U.S. by aligning certain trade practices and policies with Washington’s expectations. He highlighted that these steps are vital not only for economic cooperation but also for strengthening strategic ties in the Indo-Pacific region, especially as global power dynamics continue to shift.
